Thousands of Boeing workers have voted to strike, rejecting a contract offer that was seen as insufficient despite some gains, thereby disrupting Boeing's recovery efforts post-safety crisis.
The strike vote passed by 96 percent, indicating a strong sentiment among workers against the proposed contract, which they felt did not meet their initial demands for higher raises and concessions.
Boeing's new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, expressed concern that the looming strike could jeopardize recovery efforts and erode customer trust, highlighting the company's significant role in the U.S. economy.
Despite reaching an agreement with union leaders after months of negotiations, the proposed contract failed to satisfy the workforce's expectations, demonstrating the complexities of labor relations in large manufacturing firms.
